Beautiful day. We drove down from Ogden for this one. Hiked with my wife and twelve year old son. There was a lot of slushy granular snow for about the last 3/4 of a mile, which made for some uncomfortable postholing (we all had shorts on), but it was worth it. Great view. Spent about 30 minutes on the summit. The warm day (about 70 or so) made the descent slushy and muddy, but it is an awesome mountain, and we had a riot. Can't wait to do it again!

Climbed from Church Fork this afternoon. Took the wrong trail down from the peak and had to bushwhack (in shorts) back to the correct trail. After getting all the crap out of my boots, had a nice run back to the car. 1 hour 45 min up, 1 hour 10 min down. Great views of Salt Lake and of the other beautiful mountains nearby!

In preperation for a trip to Rainier in a few months, we decided to shake the dust off of our Koflach's with a winter climb of Grandeur Peak. We encountered two large groups of elk, coyote tracks, and waist-deep snow in parts. It was an awesome trip and a pleasant beginning to the 2008 climbing season.
